"The Shadow World is in upheaval as Valentine and The Circle continue to grow stronger by the minute, while our Shadowhunter team quickly becomes disillusioned with The Clave and their reaction to the recent events.

"Loyalties will be tested, unlikely bonds will be made and relationships will be pushed to the limit as the Shadowhunters and their Downworlder friends make their way in a new world."

And it was also revealed during the Shadowhunters panel at New York Comic Con that Vampire Diariesstar Paul Wesley, aka Stefan Salvatore himself, is directing an episode during the new season.

Based on Cassandra Clary's The Mortal Instruments, Shadowhunter follows 18-year-old Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara) who discovers she comes from a lineage of demon hunters. After her mother was kidnapped, she is forced to join the Shadowhunters.
